Transmission won't shift. into 3rd or 4th
Today I drove 100mi no problem Md to NJ and back.. Then I went on short trip to the get a new GPS (wife and I both need one tomorrow). I get on I95 and all the sudden it won't shift out of second. Going down I95 in second doing 4500rpm about 40 mph is not fun. I get to the store and let car idle a cool down. Get GPS. Start home on local roads it shift from first to second fine (firm) but won't shift to third. Checked fluid level was a little low Added fluid. Will start out in second if I don't push it hard as it is suppose too.
Trans acts strange evey now and then but for the most part it has been shifting great with no issues. [SIZE="4"]Where should I start to diagnose?[/SIZE] (5spd is in the future but I was not hoping now)

I had symptoms of a B2 Pistion issue that has apparently been cured by changing the Filter.
One of the sites listed in the thread has some troublshooting stuff http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=99833

Change fluid and filter, likely the filter is plugged. Did your problem follow a high-RPM freeway entrance or passing maneuver?

Yes I was entering the highway aggressively as the NA 2.5 L would do.

I changed the fluid filter in the transmission. Filled with ATF and lube guard , to my surprise it is shifting great. Thanks
I have purchased a 5spd, peddle assembly, drive shaft, cross member, and flywheel for when I get my garage built with a lift. Man I hate working on creepers draining transmissions. Garage should be built by fall!  .

Happy to hear it, ... hopefully just a past-due service. The 5-speed swap sounds like a nice way to go, I'm not quite that motivated though.
